Eye Focus

Chanel SS 07

It's almost the weekend again, and another Christmas party to attend. I've actually built up quite a nice collection of LBDs lately, so getting dressed isn't the stressful event it once used to be. This means there's more time to focus on hair and make-up.

Lately I've been really fond of these two looks, from Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld. A little colour and/or shine both above and below the eyes, and I'm good to go. Now if I could only figure out what to do with my hair. (It's almost getting too long, but a part of me really wants to be able to do the A. Wang braid, so I'm not cutting it yet.)

Light and Dark

I wasn't planning on posting anything today, as I've had my third of four exams and am feeling a bit tired, but then these Givenchy's popped up over at Net-a-Porter. And of course it's love at first sight.

I think I prefer the shape and overall design of the pair above, but the black anaconda with studded heel is so very Givenchy glam-goth that they deserved a mention. The stud detail on the toe reminds me of those awesome Givenchy headbands that have been featured everywhere lately.

Which shoe would you pick; light, soft and feminine or dark, spiky and sexy?

PS

My absolute favourite bag is still the (to me) unobtainable PS1. While I prefer the original versions, I find the experimenting with texture for pre-fall quite exciting. That bold blue? Simply stunning.

Golden Heels

Two exams down, two to go. Time to get back to posting some awesome shoes again, right? These pairs are from master students at the Dutch Fashion Institute Arnhem, and they're all competing for the Golden Heel Award. See more student designs over at the Despotic Queen.

Nailing It

One exam done, three more to go. The next one is Wednesday, which means I'm still stressed out, so here's another quick filler post with stunning images. The exam? I think I nailed it. Other versions of nailing it:

This may or may not be a day too late, but I'd still like to wish a happy Thanksgiving to those of you who celebrate it. While we don't do Thanksgiving here in Norway, I'd like to take a moment and mention how grateful I am for all my readers and all the comments I've received lately. You all motivate me to continue expressing myself though this blog. Unfortunately, I've just not got the time to visit other blogs or comment back at the moment, as my first of four exams this winter is next Monday. I promise I will be more social in a few weeks!

And as I'm incapable of posting without adding a picture, here are some turkey shoes from Prada:

Cold as Ice

This must be the perfect party season editorial recipe; take one part gorgeous ice queen Snejana Onopka, add clothes that show off her long legs, keep the colours to a minimum, shiny fabrics are good, add a little drama with the eye make-up. Simple and effective, and I love it.
